Ben You are correct, but this bag is in poor condition and I would like to find a new one just like it. Mike

I am a big fan of Royal's. My first new vacuum was a Royal 880 in 1974. When I lost it years later I found the 881 in the picture at a thrift store for $8.00. After many hours of restoration instead of being my daily driver, it started my collection. Since then I have added the 880 and recently...

I was once advised against using a Kirby belt if the Royal is an older model with a motor of less than 6 amps because of motor bearing damage. I know that they use a lighter belt and the 6-10 amp models use a stronger belt. Mike

Ben Thanks for the info. I just looked at the ID plate. It is a model 606. The serial # begins with 47E; May 1974? Yes it is a newer belt cover I had sitting around. Mike

Ben Who would have thought that there would be two guys in Milwaukie OR that have a collection of Royals! I do have a Stark version pictured here. Mike

Thanks Jeff for the answer to my manufacturing date question. Your 215 does look incredible! My newly acquired 215 looks much like yours but is still missing the belt cover. I hope to find one some day. Mike

Can the date of manufacture be identified by the serial number of a 215?

Although my collection is primarily of Royal's, I have these two vintage Eureka's, a model G and model M in beautiful original condition. The dust bags are in good shape except for the graphics which are deteriorated. Any suggestions on how to restore this? A friend suggested trying liquid...

I have finally acquired my dream vacuum cleaner for my collection, a Royal 215 that appears to be in near new, very lightly used condition. However, it is missing the belt cover. Can anyone help me with the original belt cover like in the picture? I am interested in original accessories too...
